Thank you for the links - PD in CSV seems the same as in GSD - just a smaller version with other health issues that can be mild to severe. We had a PD scare with our GSD litter last year but we later learned that the sire will throw a small puppy who will look like a PD but then have a growth spirt (in the 3-8 month time frame I think) and the pup will catch up - and that is exactly what he did.
His PD test came back as negative, so he was just a small puppy (but a phenomenal temperament on him - one of the best we've seen in a male for working!). OUr vit did a lot of studying on it at that time, too, since there was the potential that one of her clients would have a PD.
Too bad there are the other health issues, PD pups would make excellent pets.
